'Kaze Pete Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 An iphone wouldn't be much use in a crash...... IF (a big if) it survived the fall, the battery would probably die before anyone managed to press the button 5 times please ascertain yourself of the facts before you attempt to troll in a serious thread
tinmug Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 The concept of carrying ICE details intrigue me. Where/how do you wear it? Decal on helmet?
Baldrick Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 The concept of carrying ICE details intrigue me. Where/how do you wear it? Decal on helmet?A wrist band with all contact details
DJR Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 A wrist band with all contact detailsLike this one I got through the PPA. Really high quality buckle / fastener thingie. Soft rubber band, comfortable to wear. No excuse not to, ESPECIALLY when I ride alone. Also carry my medical aid membership card and a single R100 note for emergencies like low blood caffeine.
Ronniek Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Newish Iphones you can save emergency contact in health and when you press lock button 5 times the details pop up and you can set it to even autodial the number.. Â Not sure how android works..Just checked this on my iPhone 8 now. The lock screen has an medical emergency icon which when pressed brings up my name, weight age and spouse contact details.Edit: Played around a bit more. You can actually add quite an impressive amount of data to the screen such as allergies, blood type, medication etc. Also on my phone rapidly pressing the side button five times will start the emergency call.
The Ouzo Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Just checked this on my iPhone 8 now. The lock screen has an medical emergency icon which when pressed brings up my name, weight age and spouse contact details.Additional to this I also have my ICE details as the wallpaper on my lock screen. So a glance at my phone will give 2 emergency contacts as well as my medical aid details.
Bonus Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I've also heard of people having a "business card" with personal details inside their helmet.  Not 100% because after an accident someone might not want to remove your helmet, but a step you can take anyway.
Mamil Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Bracelet on arm with name. 2 ice names, blood group, and medical aid details. I remember to put it on 80% of the time.

Â Not sure how android works..Samsung has Emergency Contacts on lock screen. You can make a call to them without unlocking. It has been used for me once after I suffered a concussion.
Sidersky Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Really really sad. I know this doesn’t help but please guys.....wear an ID bracelet or some form of identification.I disagree, it definitely does help and should be as compulsory as a helmet I think. Even when I am in a big group ride I still wear my ICE bracelet. It's just part of my kit now. Even if my phone does get stolen, hopefully, the right people will see the details on my arm. Hope the rider has a full recovery.

I’m absolutely advocating the use of an ID bracket or equivalent.
8foktog Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018  Jim Moss@RecreationLaw  I'm a member of the ASTM (American Society of Testing & Materials) helmet committee, the helmet standards organization in the US. This organization makes helmets standards for skiing, cycling, hockey, etc., No cycling helmet is made to prevent concussions. Period I saw a lone cyclist head out that way earlier today at the R27 Bigbay intersection. He was not wearing a helmet. I commented on how stupid he was to do that, and on that road. I pray it was not the same guy, but I have a serious suspicion it is him. Bike looks familiar.Â

Hairy Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 I keep my drivers and medical aid card in my pocket when I go riding..
Sidersky Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Think you misinterpreted my post. I’m absolutely advocating the use of an ID bracket or equivalent.I don't think I did but I perhaps didn't word my response very well... We are both on the same page though. ID is essential.
Sidersky Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 The concept of carrying ICE details intrigue me. Where/how do you wear it? Decal on helmet?This thread made me order a new ID bracelet, as the clasp on my old one actually broke a while back. I see they now have new designs as well, one of which clips onto the strap of your helmet, which is pretty clever. This time I ordered a wrist one made of velcro not rubber, and it has reflective stitching sewn in so keen to see what it looks like when it arrives.
